Law

Research section

Legal innovation, social justice, and the future of law.

How will law change in the coming years and decades? Law is constantly changing to reflect a dynamic social, political, and technological context. Researchers in Law and Socio-Legal Studies examine existing legal and regulatory frameworks to address the legal innovations that are needed for our future society. Our research group includes staff with decades of research experience as well as some who are in their early years of research. Particular strengths include:

Corporate regulatory futures
Legal change and social justice
Law, Culture, and Rights in Transnational Contexts

Our research funders

Flinders Law Journal

The Flinders Law Journal has been published for 25 years. However, given the international health pandemic, and after a review of the strategic goals of Flinders Law, it has been decided that the Journal will cease publication from 2020 until further notice.

Visiting scholars

Flinders Law is keen to support domestic and international collaboration and create partnerships with visiting academics in Law and Socio-Legal Studies. Academics from outside Australia who are planning to take sabbatical leave are invited to apply for the honorary position of Visiting Scholar.
